Definitions
- the invention relates to a load cell for an electronic balance with two side walls which move parallel to one another depending on the weight and in which two metallic plates are arranged which form a capacitor with a capacitance which changes depending on the weight.
- the object of the invention is to make such a load cell even more compact and simple, in particular with regard to the fact that the balance as a whole, i.e. including the associated electronics, can be built even smaller and simpler.
- a capacitive converter is known from DE 29 48 165 AI. It consists of a rigid membrane body with a slidable plate arranged above it. A movable membrane part is provided within the rigid membrane body and is deflected by pressure in a pressure chamber. It carries the plate over spacer beads so that when the pressure chamber is pressurized, the flexible membrane part is deflected. Flat areas of conductive material are vapor-deposited on the flexible membrane part. Likewise, are on the plate flat areas evaporated. They each form an outer and an inner pair of electrodes, which change their capacity differently when the membrane part is deflected. An output signal is derived from this change when the pressure chamber is pressurized.
- the non-deflectable part of the membrane body carries electrical switching elements on an extension.
- a disadvantage of this arrangement is its complicated structure, as well as the fact that a flexible membrane part must be arranged within a rigid and immovably arranged membrane body, which is to be vaporized with different surface areas.
- the transfer of this arrangement to other arrangements is very difficult, since in DE 29 48 165 the pressure chamber must be carefully sealed.
- the aim of the invention is to create a considerably simplified and more compact unit of the load cell and evaluation electronics.
- this object is achieved in that in a load cell with two side walls which move parallel to one another depending on the weight and on which two tabs are arranged, which form a capacitor with a capacitance which changes depending on the weight, it is provided that a plate is a printed circuit board which is mounted on the the other side facing plate is provided with a metal layer, and which also carries the components of the electrical switching device of the scale.
- a plate of the capacitor can thus already be used as a printed circuit board which carries the components of the evaluation and display circuit. This saves a lot of space.
- this plate is not rigidly arranged. but rather part of the movable capacitor arrangement.
- the plate is not, as in the prior art, to be provided with a flexible membrane part, but rigid in itself, but movable.
- Figure 1 shows an exemplary embodiment
- Figure 2 is a plan view in the direction of arrows II-II in Figure 1.
- the load cell 1 consists of a metal block which is rectangular in plan view (FIG. 2) and provided with a recess 2 in cross section.
- the recess 2 (see FIG. 1) has the shape of a slot which widens at both ends, so that four regions 3, 4, 5, 6 with a reduced material cross section are formed which, when the load cell 1 is loaded, become like joints behavior of a parallel link.
- On the top of the load cell 1 sits, screwed with screws 7, a plate 8, which supports the upper part 10 of the balance with a tray by means of supports 9, into which the material to be weighed is placed during weighing.
- the underside of the load cell 1 is connected to a plate 12 by means of screws 11. This sits on supports 13 on the lower part 14 of the scale.
- circuit board 17 In the left wall 15 of the recess 2 of the load cell 1 sits - held in an insulating block 16 - a circuit board 17, the top of which is equipped with the components of the electrical circuit of the balance, for example resistors 18 and the IC ⁇ 19, 19 '.
- the underside of the circuit board 17 is in the area in which is located within the recess 2, provided with a metal layer 20.
- a further metal plate 23 is held in the right wall 21 of the recess 2 by means of an insulating block 22. It forms a capacitor with the metal layer 20 on the circuit board 17, which is part of an oscillator circuit of the scale.
- the oscillation circuit is i.a. constructed by means of the components on the printed circuit board 17.
- the load cell - behaves like a parallel link, with the result that the right part of the load cell (in FIG. 1) lowers relative to the left part of it, so that the distance between the metal layer is reduced 20 on the underside of the printed circuit board 17 on the one hand and the metal plate 23 on the other hand increases and thus the capacitance of the capacitor, which is formed by both, changes depending on the weight.
- the balance described is characterized in that one of the two plates, which form the weight-dependent variable capacitor, is formed by the printed circuit board 17, which is on its other metal plate
- the circuit board 17 is, however, substantially larger than the area with which it contributes to the formation of the capacitor within the recess 2 of the load cell 1. With the area extending outside the recess 2, which can be seen from FIG. 2, the printed circuit board 17 serves to hold the electrical components of the evaluation and display circuit of the balance.
